Thanks! I'll be busy for the next week or so working, but then I'll get you some more.

Well, looks like I'm tied up until the end of February....

Al sent me a 3870 to dump, and afterwards I used unidasm on it to make sure it looked OK. I noticed some odd looking addresses, but it turns out that unidasm has the endianness wrong; e.g. 29 01 43 shows as JMP $4301 but should be JMP $0143.

Confirmed, and fixed: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/93d965a734e714d5367b42856e90bb9a6023287b

Thanks! I should have spent 5 minutes looking at the code; 1 character bug fixes are great!

Something interesting: a new handheld Oregon Trail game that's in US Target stores.

The EEPROM type used for save games is the same kind XaviX had in their games, although AFAIK there's nothing external to show it's that so it could be a VTxx or even a basic famiclone. And I love that the case looks approximately like a Mac SE but the game uses redrawn graphics based on the MS-DOS version.

Speaking of, I've just found out that two LCD versions of Pac-Man, Space Invaders and a few others (as seen in the Amazon listing here: https://www.amazon.com/Arcade-Classics-Pac-Man-Retro-Mini/dp/B01DK2WO1C/) were released back in 2016.

The Pac-Man one seems to have been rereleased as a "New color screen!" version, also:


Kind of weird that they made them as limited old-school liquid crystal games, but they're kind of cool nonetheless.

If I remember correct. One of those have two games together. I think it Centipede + Qbert on a hardware. What they did is locked one of those up. For example Centipede mini cabinet with Qbert locked. Only way to switch the game is to mod it to swap the games. There is a video on YouTube on how to swap those around. Should be very easy to add a dip switch on MAME to do that. I don't know about the rest of those. I don't know why they put two games on the hardware. Seem dumb to lock one of those up.

Yes, I have most of these... Centipede and QBert can be modded to play the other game (just a jumper on the board). Rampage is only Rampage as far as we can tell. Joust can be jumpered to play Stargate (although the loading screen says Defender).

Oregon Trail is made by the same company, with the same boards. I believe these are all 'famicom on a chip' games with different EEPROMs. The EEPROMs have been dumped, but I don't think anyone has tried to load other games on them...

Oregon Trail is exclusive to Target. The full RGB LCD versions of the other games are exclusive to Wal-Mart. Bought anywhere else (like Centipede) and you get the Tiger-game style LCD...
